1000 calories of marshmallows


Week 20 Baby Belly







The huge Christmas Tree In Front of Our House







Whatta Man, Whatta Man, Whatta Man, Whatta Mighty Good Man...



We are having a great weekend and looking forward to a short work week- woohoo! Because it's a short work week, I don't have that sad Sunday-night-the-weekend-is-almost-over-feeling.

We went to a big ol' Thanksgiving party on Friday night where my contribution (death by chocolate bunt cake) caved in and spread out into a weird, much flatter bunt cake. I used twice the amount of chocolate chips in the recipe and think that they compromised the structural integrity of the cake. Oh well, still tasted good.

Everytime you hear "Bunt Cake", do you think of My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Bunt Cake. Boooont Cake?

Anywhoos, we left the Thanksgiving party before the beer pong or knife juggling began, as is probably appropriate for lady in my delicate state, right? Plus, Grandpa Jennings and I like to be home by 9 p.m., duh.

Did I tell you that Powers ate an entire bag of marshmallows last week? We left it, unopened, on the kitchen table. We came home and the bag was on the floor with no marshmallows left. 1000 calories in that bag, folks. And Powers didn't even puke. Impressive, huh?

Are you going to decorate that big ole tree? It could be a new tradition in your neighborhood...good luck finding a ladder that tall though. If you do manage to decorate it you could be one of those families that just leaves the lights on there all year round. Just a thought!!

Now Power's has Jet Puff Marshmallow A$$ and you think you are fit to be parents???? YES YOU ARE!!!

Bunt cake is speeled BUNDT cake anyway...I couldn't resist. Also...anytime you put nuts or chocolate chips in a batter...toss them with a little bit o'flour first and it will keep them from sinking to the bottom of your batter.

ooooh for some reason now I have a hankering for some 'mallows...........

my question: what were the marshmellows originally intented for?

freakface said...

One of ours that is continually eating anything in sight last week:
1) quart of homemade tomato sauce, which also wound up on the off-white carpet. Still trying to remove stain.
2) plate of noodles that was 5' off the floor and 3' from the edge of the surface
3) bowl of apple, orange, lemon peels that were in a sink.

This is from a dog that weighs over 100 lbs i.e. not a jumpy dog like Powers.

Im on a roll with these comments! But I meant to tell you - we had a bag of marshmallows out all week and I noticed powers sniffing all around them but he never tried to dig into them! Maybe last time he felt bloated afterwards or something? hmmm....
